So i got a quote from....

Post by CaNsA »

**I've moved this as it has moved on from suspension. CaNsA**

Nitron and Maxton.
I'm really not getting on well with the ZX6r shock I have at the moment so I have ordered a NTR Race Shock 3-Way from Nitron. :excited
Pocketed £700 from a lottery scratchcard, so in a way the shock is free.

Once it has arrived I will be getting a set of forks from ebay and sending them to maxton for rebuilding and a re-valve.
NTR Race (Hose)

Embraced by high-profile racers, the NTR Race shocks elevated performance is supported through precise control of its 3-way independent damping. Made for the most demanding riders, intimate feedback is transmitted from the rear wheel and allows the limits of traction to be confidently explored. The wealth of adjustment, formidable features and value are combined in a modern design to compliment any high spec machine.

// 3-way independent damping control
// 40mm damper piston
// 14mm piston rod
// Adjustable spring preload
// Independent adjustable ride height
// Hydraulic preload option
// Remote or piggyback canister
// 24 click rebound adjustment
// 16 click high speed compression adj.
// 26 click low speed compression adj.
// Complete with Nitron spring

This shock has a remote reservoir that is mounted by a 360deg swivelling hose onto the main shock body and reservoir canister.

The shock features spring preload as well as shock length adjustment. It comes preset for damping and preload and includes the bearing end spacers and preload c-spanner.

I know that feeling, I was over the moon when i won £20 on the Euros.

Seeing as people aren't prepared to pay a decent price (offering 600 when the ad clearly states I've been offered £1250 p/x) for my zxr I have decided to throw money at it and make it fkin awesome.
Plans include....
Getting another engine and passing it to my grease money with a note attached saying "Sort It"
and
Getting another pair of rims, painted then fitted.

It is going to cost more but i havent got a choice as i need to use the bike everyday.

Another thing i have been pondering is...
Pulling the original fairings off, putting them in storage and getting a set from ebay. You know them Chinese ones.

i bet its fucking sweet mate :D

oh if anyone is interested, the uni-track rocker arm-the one thats supposed to have grease gun points, they are supposed to be on the L-model, cradleys do them for £82.68+VAT, grease gun nipples are £0.90+VAT, when i get my rear end sorted i will pick up a rocker arm, will ensure that its always correctly greased and running as sweet as it can be...cansa, might be something for you to look at with your current influx of money, will help to keep the shock working as intended...and a properly greased rear end is all any man can ever hope for from his ride...
